Baby Leah Katherine Pierrel

So, after Meagan left last Sunday we were expecting Grammy to come stay for the week to wait around for the newest Pierrel member to arrive. Monday afternoon around lunch time Grammy told me that Thomas (Nick's brother) and Jess were heading to the hospital, how EXCITING!!! She decided to go ahead and go down town to stay at Aunt Marsha's house for the night and wait and wait and wait. On Tuesday morning at 7:30 Leah Katherine Pierrel was born coming in at 7lbs 8oz. Nick was so lucky that day during work to get to see and hold her but he did join me that evening while Grammy watched Marshall. Both parents were beaming and so proud of their sweet girl.

I was dying to go see her this weekend but I had a sore throat and didn't want to risk getting anyone sick. I went to the doctor and didn't have anything but they gave me some antibiotics anyways just in case. Nick went and saw her on Saturday and we almost went on Sunday but I still didn't want to chance it.

So, we went today, finally, so Marshall could meet his newest younger cousin. Grams and Gramps were there when we got there so we got to visit with them as well. Marshall didn't really seem to know what was going on and just wanted to climb the stairs. We are working on trying to teach Marshall to be "soft" with the dogs at my house but we haven't quite got there yet. He pointed at Leah and wanted to touch her but he was swatting so we decided to just let him look. Marshall took at nap so I was able to hold the sweet little angel for 30 minutes and watch her sleep. We had to leave at some point and as we did Marshall gave Leah a kiss on her head, so sweet!

I want to congratulate Thomas and Jess and Howard (their dog) on their new addition and wish them all the happiness and sleep in the world. Leah is a very lucky girl to have such wonderful parents and an awesome Aunt and Uncle!!
